Today I continued my visit of Embedded World, to seek and find other interesting IoT demos.
Walking to the ublox booth (Hall5-158), I am pleased to see the connected dice demo. I had the pleasure of seeing a version of this demo at TechCon 2015 using mbed (you can view a video here).
The sensors embedded in the dice transmit their data wirelessly to the IoT Gateway, showing in real-time the position of the dice. I think there could be some good applications for new games in Las Vegas.
You can also see a demo about waste disposal management, with combined wireless technologies (Bluetooth LE, Wifi, cellular), using ARM mbed.
On the Microchip booth (Hall 4-238), I found quite a few demos on IoT. A few of them captured my attention.
One is a connected lighting solution, based on the SAM R21 platform and lighting module (Both Cortex-M0+ based).
There is also a secure Smart Home reference platform based on the SAMV71 (Cortex-M7), which provide node to cloud secure –hardware hardened security.
Around the other side of the Microchip booth, there is a cool demo: a smart refrigerator reference design, powered by Zebra, Atmel Low-power wireless mesh and ARM mbed technologies.
Lastly, I had the pleasure to talk with Canonical – check out their latest news, as they announced a powerful ARM 64-bit IoT developer environment.
songbin, nice to see that the DragonBoard 410c is popular. The DB410c is indeed great for prototyping, but have you looked at how one will commercialize the idea and go to volume manufacturing? There's a neat path to that when you migrate to the Inforce Computing Inforce 6309 Micro SBC, which is form factor and software compatible. For a limited time this SBC is available at a discounted ($25 off) price. Cheers!
